Jordi Diaz Alamà, born in Granollers in 1986, is a graduate of Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona. He further improved his skills by studying classical art at international schools, including the Florence Academy of Art, where he gained insights into the techniques employed by the great artists of the 19th century. He also had the privilege of training under contemporary masters of realism, such as Guillermo Muñoz Vera, Odd Nerdrum, and Antonio López. Apart from his personal artistic pursuits, Alamà is also an accomplished teacher who has taught at the Universitat de Belles Arts de Barcelona and founded the Barcelona Academy of Art in 2013. Through his teaching, he endeavors to promote the classical methods of art as a valuable tool that aids in the interpretation and representation of modern-day themes.
Alamà’s personal artwork showcases an impressive array of pictorial techniques that blend classical realism with contemporary aesthetics, free from any stylistic mannerisms. His series #ClásicosDesollados and Red Studio, which combine realistic oil painting with abstract touches, are groundbreaking explorations of the intersection between classical and modern art. His exhibition project Si Volse a Retro, created in collaboration with the Polish sculptor Grzegorz Gwiazda, reinterprets Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy and highlights the painter’s commitment to contemporary figuration.
